A botnet is a group of infected computers that work in conjunction to continue distributing malware across the web.

The company, ARRIS is seeking to bring faster Internet connection speeds to homes around the world with its new 4.5Gbps cable technology. The new technology will overtake current fiber optic networks with its intense speed.
